The trouble with that is that the Windows resizer is not very good.
I tried to do that, but Windows had this giant partition with supposedly
"unmoveable" data structures right in the middle, and wouldn't let me
resize smaller than the end of that.

I booted a live CD and used gparted and it had absolutely no problems
moving the "unmoveable" structures and making the partition much
smaller.
